Xaeros Minimap is a utility tool for the Android version of Minecraft. Designed for use within the game, it introduces a comprehensive mapping system. Players can mark various locations—such as death points, monster spawn locations, or entrances to caves—as waypoints. These waypoints remain visible regardless of distance, allowing players to easily navigate toward them using the map interface. The tool emphasizes interactive features while maintaining the authentic aesthetic of Minecraft.
Features
Tiered Waypoint System
Local Waypoints: Subject to the "Maximum Waypoint Render Distance" setting.
Global Waypoints: Not limited by distance; always visible.
You can set a global waypoint for a large region, while also establishing multiple local waypoints within that same area.
Death Waypoints
Automatically generates a new waypoint (marked with a skull icon) upon death.
Previous death points are automatically converted into standard waypoints.
Includes an option to "Keep Old Death Points" to maintain a history of your past deaths.
Waypoint Sets
Organize waypoints into distinct sets or categories.
Switch between active sets quickly using keybindings.
All keybindings can be configured within the standard Minecraft controls menu.

Everything from terrain variations to your own exploration paths is mapped out, providing a clear, bird's-eye view.
Customizable Views
Adjust visual details, map size, and display settings to suit your preferences—keep it simple or highly detailed, depending on your needs.
FAQs
Why aren't my waypoints/teleport points working?
There could be several reasons for this. This mod sends chat commands to teleport you to waypoints—the default command being `/tp @s xyz`—so the appropriate permissions are required.
Why have my waypoints disappeared on a specific server?
Don’t panic. They almost certainly haven’t been permanently deleted. If you are using a world map mod and the world map itself has been reset, try restoring the world map first before addressing the waypoints.
How do I add custom entity icons or override the default ones?
First, ensure that you have enabled entity icons/avatars within the minimap settings—specifically under the "Entity Radar" category—by setting them to either "Always Visible" or "Visible in Player List." Make sure you know how to display them; this section covers those specific icons.
Conclusion
Unlike many other minimap mods, Xaero’s Minimap for Minecraft retains the aesthetic style of the original game, allowing it to blend into the Minecraft experience more naturally.
